Participants will be able to experience the sights, sounds and tastes of the community, exploring nearly 20 participating restaurants and indulging in free samples of signature foods of southeast Michigan.

Restaurants not located in the downtown area will be set up near the clock tower on Biddle Avenue.

Shuttles will be available in downtown Wyandotte throughout the evening.

The event is presented by Wayne County Community College District. It replaces the SWCRC Grub Crawl, which ran for 10 years.

“The Chamber is thrilled to partner with WCCCD, Downriver Community Federal Credit Union, Henry Ford Hospital, Public Service Credit Union, and the city of Wyandotte to showcase our Downriver region and the amazing restaurants who serve some of the most delicious food in southeast Michigan,” SWCRC President Ron Hinrichs said. “Event participants will have the opportunity to explore downtown Wyandotte by taking a shuttle to different restaurants, or enjoy an evening stroll between restaurants in a lively environment on the Detroit River.”
